Hello Kitty was made to attract, yes....but I thought it was meant to attract young girly girls expressing their sense of playful cuteness or something like that. I mean come on, it's a toy kitty for goodness sakes! Turning it into a national icon all dressed up in her adult-size kimono and making her pose next to (that man with the very long title) Mr Tetsuzo Fuyushiba, could possibly backfire into something kinky and give Japan a very bad name. Hey I'm just saying....

OK, so this is why I find this creepy. The world is growing increasingly more interested in everyone's business. You Tube ... blogs ... camera phones ... people are spying on, and talking about, each other like never before. Now consider that along with the following ...

... scientists have finally come up with a workable design for an invisibility cloak.

Physicists figured out the complex mathematical equations for making objects invisible by bending light around them last year.

A group of engineers at Purdue University in Indiana have now used those calculations to design a relatively simple device that ought to be able to—one day soon—make objects as big as an airplane simply disappear.

"It looks pretty much like fiction, I do realize, but it's completely in agreement with the laws of physics," said lead researcher Vladimir Shalaev, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue.

Who knows how spyware is gonna be cloaked in the future. Get my point?

But protons are bags of smaller particles called quarks and gluons, and their collisions tend to be messy and wasteful. Because electrons and positrons have no innards, their collisions are cleaner, so they can be used to create and study with precision whatever new particles are found at CERN.

Ancient marshlands in southeastern Iraq drained by Saddam Hussein have rebounded to nearly half their former area, and progress should continue despite turmoil currently rocking the nation, U.N. officials said on Thursday.

The marshlands, believed by some to be the location of the biblical Garden of Eden, once totalled an area nearly the size of Wales and provided a resting spot for thousands of wildfowl migrating between Siberia and Africa.

"Good news out of Iraq is not very common these days," said Robert Bisset, press officer for the United Nations Environment Programme, at a news conference announcing the results of the first phase of a marshlands restoration project funded by Japan.

"Everything isn't perfect in the marshlands, but there are some very positive stories," he added.
